NAME
     fdetach - detach a name from a STREAMS-based file descriptor

SYNOPSIS
     fdetach path

DESCRIPTION
     The fdetach command detaches a STREAMS-based file descriptor from a name
     in the filesystem.  path is the pathname of the object in the filesystem
     name space, which was previously attached (see fattach(3C)).  The user
     must be the owner of the file or a user with the appropriate privileges.
     All subsequent operations on path operate on the filesystem node and not
     on the STREAMS file.  The permissions and status of the node are restored
     to the state the node was in before the STREAMS file was attached to it.

SEE ALSO
     fattach(3C), fdetach(3C), streamio(7).
